NEW YORK June 21A dispatch to
the Herald fom Havana says I
ConsulGeneral Lee forwarded to
Prsident Clevland today Saturday
dispatches or the utmost importance I
They should reach the president and
Secretary Olnev early in the coming I
week The dispatch contains the full
I
report for the consulgineral upon Cu
ban situation and are of extremely
sensational character
In these dispatches there are two
distinct instruments the one
WHOLLY CONFIDENTIAL
and for the personal information of I
1 I re < 5 int Cleveland the other a clear
frank exposition of the situation in the
island at the present time With the
greatest candor the representative of
the United States in Havana describe
the existing conditions of affairs in
Cuba
I have seen ConsulGeneral Lee to
day says > the correspondent and
notwithstanding reticence and his re
hisal to reply to questions in relation
jspecially to his confidential report to
President Cleveland I am justified in
drawing the conclusionlhathis docu
ment is
OF TREMENDOUS IMPORTANCE
to the United States and Spain So
strong is it in fact that its contents
may it is hinted be made the basis of
armed inlarvention in Cuban affairs
or the part of the administration at
ft ashmsrton immediately
The report intended as information I
particularly designed for the depart J
ment of state and which will be pre I
sented to Secretary Olney is I am I
informed and as I have already indi I
cated a compete and impartial review I I
of the field ConsulGeneral Lee takes
I
the ground I understand that the
only possible solution of the dreadful I
problem existing in the island is au
tonomy on Canadian lines While the
Spanish flag is flying on the island of
Cuba ConsulGeneral Lee says I
NO OTHER REMEDY
I
can be found to stay the rebellion or
end the bloodshed and devastation
which are it present making a Gol 1
gotha of one of tho fairest portions of
the earths surface I
Even this remedy the consulgen
eral informs President Cleveland and
Secretary Olney at this late day may
be ineffectual At one time in the i
course of the rebellion the Cuban revo
I r lutionists might perhaps have wel
comed such autonomy as it would
have won friends in a party of peculiar
respectability in the island but at
present this party has lost its hold
in a great degree and as for the in
surgents and thMr friends their watch
words are now unconditional surrender
on the part of Spain and a free republic
in Cuba
CorpulGeneral Lee finds that the
Spanish government hes in many in
stances ben
ENTIRELY IMPOTENT I
in its efforts to protect either the lives
of foreigners residing in the island or
their property The has been per
haps unavoidable the Spanish troops
having been fully occupied in the
I field in resisting the persistent raids
and strategic moves of the insurgents
The consulgeneral hints finally that
unless this danger to forsign residents
can be avoided the recognition of bel
I ligerency of Cuban revolutionists will t
soon become advisable I

CHICAGO June 20A special to the

day what he thought of the action of
the national Republican convention
and replied as follows
The convention was one of the most
mediocre in character ever held by
that great party and showed that the
party Is now at the opposite pole from
what it was when it nominated Lin
coln Then its conventions were made
up tl statesmen orators and patriots

The women straw workers of Tus

KANSAS CITY June 20The

tion of Senator Teller and one or two
others who walked out of the Re
publican national convention passed
through this city today en route home
from St Louis The delegates spent
a few minutes between trains on tIre
depot platform C J Hart of Pueblo
seemed to be the only delegate in an
I
approachable mood
No we are not sorry for what we
did said Mr Hart We reflected the
overwhelming sentiment of the people
of Colorado and stood by our convic
tlonSi We shall stand by our action
in the convention to the end
Colorado then will be last to Mc
Kinley
He has not the slightest chance to
carry the state We would prefer to
SUPPORT SENATOR TELLER
if he accepts a presidential nomination
out it ne does not run we win support
some free silver man
If the Democratic party adopts a
silver plank in its platform will you
support its nominee
We cannot say We do not know
who will be the nominae
Mr Hart said he had fought through
the war with a musket on his shoulder
but the most trying ordeal he ever
went through was when he walked out
of the convention amid a roar of cheers
and hisses
I never voted anything but the Re
publican ticket In my life said he
sadly and it almost broke my heart
to leave the party I loved But there
was no other course for me if I were
to be true to the people of Colorado
and true to myself Silver was not
given the slightest recognition gold
was triumphant and party had to give
way to principle
Mr Hart said that it was just as cer
tain now that the Democratic party
WOULD DECLARE FOR SILVER
I
as it was a week ago that McKinley
would be nominated He said how
ever that the gold Influence of the

a series of conferences between com

a committee composed of prominent

The seceding silver men of the Re t

as the result of our conferences come
I to a perfect agreement as to the future
and henceforth we will work along the
same lines
He predicted victory for a ticket with
Teler as its leader
The address in part is as aI1ovs
Expressly disclaiming any purpose
or right to bind any party or person by
the views here set forth we but yield
to an overpowering sense of duty in
saying what we do to members of the
Peoples party and to all other good
citizens who apprehending the ap
proach of a momentous crisis in our
countrys life are willing to avert it
by acts of exalted patriotism I
We came to St Louis as citizens
members of the Peoples party to be
present at the meeting of the national f1
Republican convention that we might
determine more definitely for ourselves b
the true aim of that organization in
the present struggle
THE BOSS IN POLITICS
We have seen the boss in politics
more securely enthroned more servilely
obeyed and more dictatorial as to can
didates and policy than has ever been
witnessed in the field of national poli
tics
One man the perfection of his type
representing the millionaires the
banks the corporations the trusts and
every other remorseiess and plutocratic
element in our countrys life has 4
through the power of money dictated
the nomination of Mr McKinley and
shaped the platform of his party
This convention slavishly resDond
ins to the will
of the
money power
HAS FORCED AN ISSUE WHICH
MUST BE MET
It is a challenge to the yeomen of
the land If it is declined or if it
shall succeed the fptters of a tyranny
more grinding than that of the the
czars and emperors will be riveted
upon the plain people of the country
fetters which must be indefinitely worn
with the contemptible spirit insepar
able from willing serfs or in the end
broken with the irresistible power of a
mighty revolution
That issue is formulated in the de
mand that the existing gold standard
must be preserved and for the enact
ment of all measures designed to main
tain inviolably the obligations of the
United States and all our money
either coin or paperat the present
iitandard
This means that silver shall be r er
manently degraded into i mere money I
I of change and that it be deprived of I
paltry its legal sum tender quality except for some
That the national banks shall be
swollen into a power of triple their
present ability to contract the volume
of money to absorb the earnings of
industry and to grip the throat of all
industrial and commercial life while
from time to time it 4
TERRORIZES THE VOTERS
into a choice of its tools for all legis
lative judicial and administrative po
sitions
The money power has force this
iSsue now because in its judgment
those whom Its policy would enslave
are divided into hostile political fami
lies which cannot be united Intime to
resist its onset It regards it as im
possible that harmonious action can be
secured between the different organiza
tions that favor money reform and
resistance to its insatiate greed Wfth
Populists silver Democrats and lade
pendent bimetallists supporting differ
ent nominees for president and the
national Congress It
FEELS ASSURED OF VICTORY
and it has determined to press without
abatement the advantage which this
apparently lamentable condition raises
up before you

that have menaced the country since
